Representation of the role of women in the Chilean government discourse (1990-2016)
Keywords:
woman, public policies, gender, Government discourse, ChileAbstract
This descriptive investigation analyzes the representation of the Chilean woman in the governmental discourse from 1990 to 2016. For this, a discourse analysis of Government Programs and Public Accounts of the six governments is made (N = 376 units of analysis). And it is explored the role and representatntion of the woman on them. The main objective is to unravel how this representation is and whether there are similarities or differences between different periods. The main conclusion reached is that although there is a desire to overcome inequality and to incorporate women into the public sphere –especially in the second government of Michelle Bachelet– there are still many challenges to achieve parity. That is because the woman –although working– is closely linked to the private space and closely associated with her roles as mother and wife.
